Bunniq Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Since we have decided to cut back on Christmas gift giving this year, we have decided to send more Christmas Cards than usual. I was at the post office a few weeks back, and the clerk told me that Christmas Theme stamps should be coming out soon. For the few cards we sent last year we used a plain stamp, but this year I am debating if I should purchase Christmas Theme stamps or not. I decided to make a poll to see what others usual do. TIA
laffnatu Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I'm really bad at buying Christmas cards but I never get around to sending them out. If I do send them out, I usually get the Christmas theme ones.
Cecilliadb Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I said whatever I have on hand but my FIL had stamps made with a pic of my son on them thats really cute so I will be using those this year :)
ms_mckenna Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 The few we send out we use Christmas stamps. I think it would be cute to use the stamps.com thing too ... where you take a picture and they make it a stamp.
Trish1298 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Just another thing to put people in the xmas spirit.

copados1993 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I LOVE to buy the Christmas stamps. I put them on any cards I send out and everything else I mail.
jlodoj Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I LOVE Christmas stamps too! My Christmas cards must have Christmas stamps. I also use them on everything I mail as well including bills, lol!
Novac Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Don't forget the holiday postmarks, too. You can send all your Christmas mail in a large envelope to post offices in participating towns. They'll open your envelope and postmark all your (stamped) mail there. You might want to check around in early December for participating post offices this year as well as specific instructions on how to get your cards postmarked. Previously, you could get postmarks from:North Pole, AK & NYChristmas, MISnowflake, AZBethlehem, PA (and other states)Santa, IDSanta Claus, INEvergreen, AL (and other states)Shepherd, MI (and other states)Snow, OKSnow Shoe, PAChestnut, ILJoy, ILSurprise, NYPartridge, KS & KYI didn't see any recent articles on USPS's site, but here are a couple from 2001 and 2002.
elena_398 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I always buy the christmas theme stamps during the season
Gporter34 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 I always get the Christmas stamps. I just love getting Christmas cards with little Christmas sstamps on them.

jennypoo3016 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 We always use christmas stamps on our cards
glitterstarr Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Doesn't matter to me one bit what type of stamp that I use or what type of stamp on the ones I receive.
terrabini Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I always use Christmas stamps. I usually seal the envelope with a holiday sticker too!
love2beurwifey Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Christmas Theme for Christmas Season its not like its any more money out of your pocket they all cost the same so I may as well get something to go with the theme
Bunniq Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 I always use Christmas stamps. I usually seal the envelope with a holiday sticker too!Nice idea!
Cecilliadb Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I had a traditional brass seal made with my initials. I am gonna use my gold wax to seal the envelopes this year instead of the pretty embossed stickers I usually get. I thought it would be a little different and fun :)
Hummingbird Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I always get Christmas Stamps. I also use Christmas address labels. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Melissa Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 IF I send out cards, I like to use Christmas stamps.
ChrisKsAngel Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Yes, I don't send out many cards but when I do I have to use Christmas stamps and Christmas Address tags. It just makes it so much more festive!
